378*** Learn How To Play Mage Knight: The Board Game! ***
Mage Knight is a deck building very thematic adventure game for 1-4 players ages 14+ with an average play time of 45 minutes per player. It offers some of the most variable out of the box game play I have ever seen in a board game without an expansion or five. Cooperative play, competitive play, variable maps, variable powers, variable encounters, the replay in this one box is staggering!
"The Mage Knight Board Game throws you and up to three other Mage Knights into the sprawling and ever changing world of the Atlantean Empire, a land that is but a distant memory since your transformation into a mysterious Mage Knight. Build your armies, defeat bands of marauding enemies, and eventually conquer cities in the name of the mysterious Void Council.
Designed by renowned designer Vlaada Chvatil, Mage Knight is a game of Epic Exploration and Conquest that mixes character development, intrigue, and the clashing of swords to create a truly unique gaming experience.
As a Mage Knight you must control your reputation and walk the line or embrace the role of benevolent leader or brutal dictator. Accumulate Fame and experience to acquire powerful Spells and abilities, then use your power to influence units to join your ranks. Will you destroy an ancient Draconum and gain favor with the people, or burn down a monastery to steal the powerful artifact hidden there? Both paths may lead to victory, but the decision is yours to make."
